This chair is fantastic! My husband does not like the way the mechanism is made to raise and lower the top half but I don't think it's of any consequence whatsoever. The chair is extremely sturdy, beautiful to look at, and I don't have any rust stains after it rains like I do with other lawn chairs I had purchased previously. When a bird poops on it, the fabric and plastic are ridiculously easy to clean which is a huge plus as we have a lot of wildlife in our area. Lightweight yet really strong, bright and happy to look at, you cannot go wrong with this chair!
